Frozen Sorrows here

Ahh. Keith, right? Yes. That's it. You. Well, Linux did a pretty bang=up job of protecting himself. Took out Rolling Fear in his first shot, Clipped Silentboy (Not his name, he just never talks, you understand.) With his second. He took a couple shots, not fatal, not even that bad, but shots all the same. Deciding he'd had enough, he ran out, tackeled silentboy, and went wherever he goes that we can't follow. I'm really hoping that master was there waiting for him. I took his Computer because why the hell not. Oh, and Keith, buddy boy, There's two of us left, and that's more than enough to take out every single one of you in a fairly short period of time. No hard feelings man, a job's a job.

He's gone. Again

Well. I got to Linux's place. It was a bit of a wreck. I mean. It was REALLY a wreck. There was some blood on the floor, couple splatters here and there. Fuck. Can't even tell whose blood it is. Can't tell what happened. Probably safe to assume he's either stuck in that weird place, or he's been taken or killed. All bad. His computer's gone. And I found his tape. Gonna transcribe it later. Thinking about finding Linux. Realizing I have no clue on where to find him or the squad. Hoping Linux shows up at some point soon. Me, Rob, and Mike are now on triple shifts. Ugh. I don't know how long we can do this.

keith read this now

Fuck. I've got a little time to type this up. Keith, I have "visitors" I'm three blocks north of you, then take a left, and proceed until you reach the closed house. I'll hide, and I'll travel if i can but i dont know if i can and i'd much rather not. saw the target last time i went there. got thrown around a bit. come well armed, there are three of them, leave rob and mike to guard the others just in case.

New Data

Second Guy

Name Given: Fineman
Age: 32
School: High School Grad
Military: Wouldn't disclose much, mentioned Egypt in passing. Suspect he was recently turned.
Personality: Faux Affably evil. Made lots of nice talk. Knew me well enough to push me.
Psychoses: None detected.
Childhood: Grew up Irish. Parents killed as IRA members, suspect child followed by starting career as a terrorist
Pathing: Displayed an attempt to path out. Magnets prevented pathing.
Travel: Freely traveled after I pulled him with me. Was much more cooperative afterwards.
End Notes: I accidentally traveled after an intense session. Had my hand on him, and he came with me. He was terrified. He became much more cooperative afterwards. Unfortunately, I wound up having to kill him shortly after as the rapid increase in azoth in his system caused him to rapidly become more and more hostile. He traveled five or six times within a two-three hour period, each trip taking approximate 10-20 minutes per trip, he was remaining stationary though, as his bindings survived the trip. Refreshed the bindings whenever I could to prevent azoth deterioration.


So, yeah. I can pull people with me when I travel. That's both good and bad. It can be weaponized, but I also might hurt those I like. Gonna have to be more careful. In other news, I'm still alive. Haven't been shot at by the outfit yet. Not going to put up my location or any plans for obvious reasons. Oh, Frozen Sorrows, if you read this, your boy was screaming mad by the end. I killed him quickly, ended that suffering before it got too bad. You and your boys can still get out of town. Maybe give me the location of your employer, I've got enough on my plate that I won't hunt you guys down. Offer's up until I take you.

The meet.

I'm off to my meeting. I'll update this when I get back

Back. Still alive. Uninjured. Won't transcribe the tape of the recording, not most of it anyways. Gonna go sleep for a while. Latest hostage was killed yesterday. I'll put his psych eval up tomorrow. Moving houses soon.

Alright. Well. The meet happened. I got a bit of information on those sons of bitches. They've got two pathers. Frozen Sorrows is a real hardass. Pretty sure he has some psychological training, knew how to press all the right buttons. The team is just performing a mission for some less well-armed individual. "Nothing Personal" He paid upfront, so grabbing him won't help any. FS said that they were hired by an individual called "Breaking Point." Said he wanted all runners in the area dead, and that he wanted the bodies if he could get them. Either he wants them for experiments, or he's more than a little sick in the head. Thinking I might want to find that guy. Frozen Sorrows told me to fuck off when I asked him where they leave the bodies. Gonna take me a while. Gonna finish taking down the veterans before I go after him. Keith, you guys should be safe for a while. Just keep watching, just in case.

Hunter becomes the hunted becomes the hunter

Well, looks like they're changing their focus from the group of runners to me, probably a good thing. I grabbed another one of theirs today. Spent over an hour shaking a tail. Prally need to practice that a bit more. Prally gonna get a lot whether I want to or not. Anyways, I'm safe right now. I'm letting the new guy stew for a bit. I'm gonna give you guys my theory just in case I fuck up and get caught.

First things first. I do NOT believe in the tulpa effect. I DO believe in a variant that I've not seen mentioned or named.

Second, the multiverse thing. Except it's not multiple universes, it's multiple realities. Reality branches for every chance, for every choice. And there's a shit ton of those. For practicality, I'll only refer to the ones I see and/or visit based on major differences.

Alright. Time for the big reveal . . . It is my belief that through thought, we cannot create something, but we can cause realities to intersect. Or, in some cases, we can move from one to another. Travelers, as I'm calling anything that moves from one to another, usually have stranger properties, as a result of not really belonging in the reality they are in. I'm taking a guess that it is from the reality I've traveled to, on account of seeing it there. That place was not pretty, let me tell you. I don't think the path is a part of that place, I suspect it's a different dimension based on pathers' descriptions of it, but who knows. That place was dead. Their were buildings reminiscent of those I've seen in our reality, but they were sludgy. Like mold had been eating away at them for a long time. There were azoth clouds, and there was nothing that was alive. I went into an underground bunker like situation in the other reality, found some papers. Mostly diaries from people that survived initially. It's a bit hazy, but it was either an instance of biological warfare gone horribly right, or some medical company that fucked up big time. People woke up and saw the black fog, didn't do anything at first. People started coughing it up, they started to wear government issue gas masks. That helped a little, which is also why I wear a rebreather when I visit. Well, after about a week, the news reported five people dead, and then people broke. Some people became like proxies, others went the typical insane, curled up in a ball, begging for mercy. At this point, the crazy-prepared invited the non-crazy neighbors into their bomb shelters. They survived for a few months before "something" came in. Started killing them. I don't know if this was everyone's favorite well dressed person first reality, or if he migrated to it after people started freaking out and giving up on their life. Maybe it was some batshit insane experiment, or a mutation of the azoth strain. Or maybe it migrates through worlds where everything's gone to hell, finishing it off, and then moving on. I don't know. Still hoping I can find some top-secret underground labratory that'll have more information on it. Oh, and in other news, I've been training myself in how to travel better, I can now open up much smaller holes to just look through. I can't move anything between them, which is good, because I'd rather keep everything nice and segregated in this instance, but yeah.


Oh, and just in case this guy or the next can path, do any of you guys know how to stop someone from pathing? Do I just have to restrain them? Or will I not be able to interrogate them?

Edit: Just got a brick through my window. That means I'm moving very soon. Their leader, Frozen Sorrows, wants to have a chat. In public, of course. Might go and meet him. Can't hurt. If it's public, and I'm armed, and I scout the area, and well, you get it. I mean, he already knows where I live. I'll update after the meet. Keith. Stay safe man. You guys should have a much easier time until they decide to stop focusing on you. If I meet him, it'll be on Wednesday on a beach-front restaurant. All of them'll probably be busy watching us, making sure I don't pull a gun or anything like that.

Edit 2: Alright. Everything seems green. The location has five escape routes that should work well. I don't think there was ever a point where there were less than three people walking on by.  Taking a handgun just in case anyways.

Psych Eval Round 2, part 1

Alright. First guy down. Won't tell you what I had to do to make him talk. This guy was a lot less talkative than anyone in the previous group. Despite the fact that I was much less kind. He said that his team called themselves the Shadow Runners.

Name: No name Given, Referred to as Shadow Runner 01
Age: 37
High School: Graduate
College: Went straight into the army

Military Experience: Served two tours as a Marine, left America to freelance in Africa for four years before becoming a Proxy.

Personality: Bloodthirsty Monster. Repeatedly threatened me. Normal Proxy stuff. Except he pulled on his bindings so much it rubbed his wrists and arms raw.

Psychoses: Rage.

Childhood: Ran away from home after killing parents. Created a fake persona by pretending to be raised on the streets. Claims to have let a sister live. 

Pathing: No indication of ability.

End Notes: Killed quickly after I finished taking notes. Indicated that there were six left. Keith's kill makes five. He indicated that one of them was learning to path, while another was adept at it.

Moving to a new facility today. Setting up Containment chamber tomorrow. Snatching another "Shadow Runner" sometime after that. Hopefully I can pull their leader.
